NIFTY History, p.1
Founded in 1992, NIFTY (Naked Iconoclasts Fighting The Yoke) is a group of citizens who believe that people should be allowed to decide for themselves whether to wear clothing or not in public spaces. Essentially, the group formed in opposition to section 174 of the Canadian Criminal Code, which declares public nudity a criminal offense. However, we advocate for clothing-optional rights for everyone, not just Canadians. Although many NIFTY members are naturists or nudists, NIFTY is not a naturist/nudist group; we are simply a group of citizens who believe in the right of every person to decide what, if any, clothing to wear in public spaces.

Tips for organising clothes-optional swims
Tips for organising clothes-optional swims
By Greg DePaco, NIFTY secretary
If the NIFTY swims are too infrequent for you – or if you live too far away from Templeton Pool to participate as often as you’d like – you may have thought about starting a clothing-optional swim of your own at a local pool. We here at NIFTY strongly encourage you to do so, and would like to help if we can! Here are some suggestions if you take the plunge:
1. Contact the pool and make an appointment with the programmer to discuss rentals. (This is their title in Vancouver Park Board sites, it may be different in your area.) Arrange an in-person appointment. There’s no need to mention at this point that you intend to have a clothing-optional event, but if they ask you if this is the case you should certainly (of course) say so, just as you would answer any initial questions they might have about your rental.
2. You will likely have to buy insurance. In BC, you should contact Sport BC insurance to discuss rates and terms. This would be a good thing to have looked into before your meeting with the pool programmer. If you know another group that rents the same pool, they might be willing to share their policy with you. Talk to them and to Sport BC.
3. It’s best to bring two people to your meeting with the pool programmer, a male and a female. (Sex shouldn’t matter, of course, but given societal stereotypes about people who like to do things naked, it helps to present your group as one whose membership represents a wider cross-section of your community.) Sorry (but needless) to say, you should really wear clothes for the meeting.
4. Use your judgment as the meeting unfolds, but you should probably explain your intention to have clothing-optional events early on during the meeting, as one of the parameters of your rentals. Most programmers will probably be at least willing to consider the idea, though they may say they have to check with their superiors first. At this point, be sure to mention all the other groups (like NIFTY) that have sucessfully run clothing-optional swims and events for years without any significant problems and with wide community support. Offer to meet with their superiors yourselves if needed.
5. If the meeting ends without a firm yes or no, give them a week or so to get back to you before calling to follow up. If you do so, start the call by thanking them for having met with you to consider renting their facility to your group. (Also do this when they call with their answer, if they do.)
If you need any help with the process, just call us here at NIFTY – we’ll do what we can. Good Luck! And let us know about the responses you get.

Vladimir Fedotko (gallery)
Vladimir Fedotko is a photographer from St. Petersburg, Russia. He is known for his talent to magically combine traditional drawing, photography and computer processing. Fedotko creates unique photos and fills them with fairy-tale characters. His images are bright and elegant. The artist shows a variety of stories that combine surrealism and fantasy.
Digital art appeared about 15 years ago and is very popular today among both beginners and professional photographers. Vladimir creates amazing images full of beauty, and mystery. Most striking in his work that it is not clear where is the photo, and where is the drawing. The artist takes into account everything – color, shade, and the texture of the object. You could say – this is magical realism in photography.

NIFTY Constutution, p.4
NIFTY recognises the fundamental decency, beauty, and non-obscenity of the natural human body. Further, NIFTY affirms the spiritual, psychological and physical health benefits of nudity and body acceptance for the individual and for society. A major part of our mandate is to educate the public about these benefits, and about the harmful effects of our cultures censure of natural nudity. NIFTY is an egalitarian group which always promotes equality of all humans, without regard to sex, race, colour, creed, age, national origin, sexual orientation or any other attribute.

William-Adolphe Bouguereau (gallery)
William-AdolpheBouguereau (November 30, 1825 – August 19, 1905) was a French academic painter and traditionalist. In his realistic genre paintings he used mythological themes, making modern interpretations of classical subjects, with an emphasis on the female human body. During his life he enjoyed significant popularity, was given numerous official honors, and received top prices for his work. Throughout the course of his life, Bouguereau executed 822 known finished paintings, although the whereabouts of many are still unknown.

Love to stay nude, at times. We have a place on the river. Love to fish nude when I can. Love to visit a nude colony or camp nude. But can’t get my wife to go. I have friends in nude space we still keep in touch.
Thanks.
In which part of the world do you leave Danny, as griffinaero said a clothing optional could be the answer, your wife will have a choice, and depending of where you live, you will have different choices, try to find something like a clothing optional swim at a local pool or something of the like, good luck.
I know the feeling. Have the same situation here at home. Have always loved nudity. Not raised that way just he way I am. I have been to beaches and clubs near me but like you wife refuses.
I have found Cypress Cove in Kissimmee FL to be the ideal entry place for a nervous person. It is vehemently wholesome and clothing OPTIONAL. Your significant other isn’t obliged to strip but will probably do so after seeing how non-threatening the experience can be.
I’m a closet nudist. I actually go nude in public a lot, driving, walking through parks. I even got totally nude in quiet (no cameras) corner of a well known big box store once. It’s anazing how no one looks. I live in the upper Midwest. No nudist places here. I wish I knew more nudists!
I’m like You. I do the same.
I want to go to a nude campground just don’t want to go alone.
upper midwest here love being nude i have a small acerage always nude
First time I went to a nudist beach when I was just 21 years old, thinking that I would get excited seeing naked girls, But It was like Adam an Eve, so good an natural, An I keep on going when I can. That was 40 years ago. still enjoy the nudist beach, but sadly, it is mostly men without there wife’s.
I love the feeling of being naked, especially with my wife and kids. The kids are 5 and 7. We are often in bed watching movies and enjoy the freedom of naked contact. It is safe and comfortable for everyone. It won’t last forever most likely.
I am an older nudist guy. I sure do miss nudism with my kids. Special times. I was very careful about very close contact. Maybe I should not have been so concerned.i missed out.
Nice family bonding time

Hi
I’m Martin. I’ve been a nudist for 20 years, beaches and home, love to hear from other people..
Hello I’m jake a younger person wanting to know what being a nudist is like
I just discovered your website because I want to one day experience the naturism group. This reminds me of one thing. I had 10 years in a scout camp and one day on a small beach far from the people the scout leader had allowed us to bathed naked. Imagined the experience with scout friends all aged between 9 and 11 swimming naked. more or less 12 boys. I may be too detailed, but I was the only one out of 12 boys to be circumcised. Many boys asked me the question and I did not know for what answer gave them. These finally a scout leader who educated us on the issue. To return to naturism. I do it at home with my wife and our two boys of 7 and 9 years old. Maybe we will live in a group one day, because the whole family wants to live the experience. 🙂
Sounds like a great time David! Would love to know more.
